Pros: It has great range. I had a TP-LINK that died after two years. It was old and only Dual N so it was time for an upgrade. I decided to replace it with this. the router is in the basement. I never could get any signal in my upstairs bedroom with the old router. The new router has amazing range. I get full bars in that room now. Its been nice to have that boost. The setup was easy. I am using DSL for now. I set it up the modem as transparent bridge, setup the router for PPPoE and input my username and password and I'm running. Less than five minutes. I like the USB ports. I have an USB 3.0 hard drive attached. Its great for a little online network storage.

Cons: You can't wall mount it, least not easily, and not flush. The network ports are on the back in a way which would make it more difficult. It has be sat up on a desk or shelf for the most part. I also think the two usb ports should be placed together. I don't know why one is on the side and one is on the back. It makes it awkward for cable management.

Other Thoughts: I would buy it again. I'm happy with the range and the features. I would like to see a wall mount version of this with better port management and lay out. All in all though, I'm satisfied with it.

Pros: Bought it in a combo with a MSI Z97 PC Mate. It was a bargain.

Cons: Disappointed since I can't get it to overclock. It seems to only want to work in stock. I've done tons of research. I was running i3 540 decided I want to move myself into a position to buy a more expensive i3/i5/i7 later. Somewhat regretting it now. Some games just stutter and don't run quite as well. I did a clean install of my OS afterwards. Tried updating my Bios to latest.

Other Thoughts: Hoping I can get this thing to overclock soon.
